A lot of my conservative acquaintances have followed a certain pattern....they are all tough talk about being independent and not needing any government help, or anybody else's help for that matter. But as soon as their luck runs out and they experience a traumatic event in life (serious illness, bankruptcy or other financial hardship, etc), they are the first ones to take advantage of what the government has to offer, and then thy complain that there's not enough and say "see, the government can't do anything right."
